title = "Integrating live video for immersive environments",
abstract = "Cabin, an immersive projection display developed, which is a room-sized, five-screen system that can display both computer graphics and video images. Several Cabins connected through a broadband network form the Cabinet system. Cabinet includes video avatars, a new key technology for sharing virtual worlds. Using video avatars, the ability to express positional information between distant users are experimentally evaluated.",

note = "Funding Information: The Cabinet communication experiments take place as part of the Multimedia Virtual Laboratory (MVL) project sponsored by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. MVL offers a concept for creating a distributed virtual laboratory where researchers jointly engage in a project via a high-speed network and can feel as if they share the same space. This concept supports applications in science, engineering, education, medicine, and conferences, for example. The organizers expect Cabinet to be a key technology in the MVL project. In the future, Cabinet will extend to other sites, including the United States and Singapore. Funding Information: We thank Ken Tamagawa, Koji Hiratsuka, Tatsuhiro Tsuchida, and Kim Sungyoon for their assistance. This work was partly supported by the Telecommunications Advancement Organization.",
